Found Object Sculpture

These small sculptures range in size from a few inches to 15 inches. They were made entirely from found and reclaimed objects, including some natural forms such as stones or bark. The unifying element in these is the idea of nests. Each piece contains an interior space that is like a nest or the inside of a seed; often veiled or obscured by layers of other forms. I use found objects because I find it very interesting that they have a history, another life and purpose that I may never know. I enjoy working with them and giving them new purpose in a sculptural form, one that speaks something of their past while delighting in their new-found identity.
